No reason anymore, Hellekin just corrected me.

But I am assuming that a single dynhttpd front-end could serve multiple
sites, so the number of IPs available to run the front-ends is the issue.
If they run as p2p, where you front for someone else (since you have a
routable IP), then you still end up with far fewer front-ends than
back-ends, and old-style SSL needs a 1:1 mapping of IPs to domains.  Looks
like with Server Name Indication, this isn't a problem, so yay!
